    Always , always keep a simple open-flue boiler which don't have any complex electronics with in-built obsolescence. The so-called efficiency of combis is only in lab-test conditions.



    To that add £400+ for a power-flush or else the guarantee on the new one will be void and expect to pay £££s when the power-flush opens up pin-holes in the pipes and rads.

    Maybe I have been lucky but my Vaillant Combi is still working well and is now 10 years old. I have had it serviced every year since I moved in but have not had any problems at all with it.
